Talk Nation Radio: Here Comes Corporate Nationhood

And you thought corporate personhood was bad enough! Lacey Kohlmoos, Senior Field Organizer, Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch, tells us that the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership) will create corporate nationhood by empowering corporations to sue and overrule real nations, as well as incentivizing the offshoring of jobs, hurting food safety, damaging environmental protections, enriching drug companies at the expense of human health, banning some generic drugs, further deregulating banks, forbidding the breaking up of too-big-to-fail financial firms, and creating SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) despite its failure in Congress as a result of strong public opposition.

Talk Nation Radio

Talk Nation Radio is a 29-minute show, with a new episode released every Wednesday at TalkNationRadio.org and available free to any station. The host, David Swanson, interviews guests — usually one per show, occasionally two — on a wide range of topics but with a particular focus on peace, justice, and political action. Guests have included authors, artists, activists, and elected officials. The length of the interviews allows some in-depth exploration of topics often under-reported elsewhere. All past shows are available on the website.

Talk Nation Radio is syndicated by Pacifica Network and is free to any station or website. Please ask your local stations to air it. There’s a new 29-minute show here every Wednesday.
